Future of Work Online Workshop

Change is happening faster than ever, right across the globe: environmental pressures, population growth, massive advancements in technology, and significant shifts in the demographic of the workforce to name just a few. In step with these, people’s aspirations and desires for their work are also changing. Of course this presents challenges, but many organizations also see it as a wonderful opportunity to create positive change and to start to build purpose-driven organizations that prioritize people and planet alongside profit.

In the present reality, organizations have been forced to adopt remote working and other work practices and  technologies that will perpetually shape and re-position our present work structure. In the next few days and weeks, there will be massive retrenchment and downsizing as many jobs will no longer be relevant in the new economy. Many businesses will short down as consumer behavior and expectations would have changed. Also, there would be an untold outbreak of new opportunities resulting to business evolution and unnumbered startups resulting to massive requests for employees with the future skills to serve the future customer.

As this change occurs so fast, business and career persons must understand the trend and direction of this change so as to prepare for a smooth transition to the new economy.
